Presentation (45 minutes)

Summary * A brief summary, this will be printed on the Web site and in the program. Please aim for a maximum of 150 words.

Secure Scuttlebutt is a technology for decentralized, peer-to-peer, offline-first social media applications based on cryptographic identities. We will introduce the Secure Scuttlebutt network and protocol. We will present some of the applications on the network, for social networking, games, and collaboration. We will look at the values and culture emergent on the network, and where it may be head in the future.

Abstract The LibrePlanet program committee will use this to understand your proposed talk. Please limit this to 300 words.

We would like to introduce Secure Scuttlebutt (SSB) to the Free Software Community. We would start with a brief technical part to show the network data stuctures and topology. We would explain how the protocol is designed to enhance autonomy of users and the development of social software. We would show the applications on the network, focusing on Patchwork, the "flagship" application, along with others like Patchbay, Patchbay (including Chess), patchfoo, Patchfox, and git-ssb. We would explain how moderation works on the network.
